Advent loudspeakers

In 1977 while a Senior in HS I bought a pair of the "New Advents". I own them to this day. They are in my basement and I play them while working out. The surrounds have been replaced twice. The last go-round I used Van L Speakerworks in Chicago and had the internal wiring and cross-overs upgraded at  nominal cost. I am using a Sansuii receiver I bought at the same time. My source downstairs is a Dennon DVR player. I discovered that that with modern decent quality IC's and SC, the sound is pretty darned good. Where they truly excel is in the bass to mid-bass region. It is lightning fast and taut. Yes, they are dated in terms of refinement, midrange and treble but they are still pretty darned good. They should not be overstated or understated. They are somewhere in that hinterland between mid-fi and high-end. They get rock and roll rhythm sections down pat. A bass guitar and a tom-tom sounds incredibly real-quick and tight. In summary, they are a classic much like a '69 Mustang. 

What’s classic about a 69 Mustang?

The 69 Mustang had the 429 Boss Fastback. The Camaro killer, the detonator of Dodges, etc. It was a long time ago. You may correct me if I am mistaken. lol.

Maybe even the "pile driver" of Plymouths...hahaha

No 69 Mustang is really a classic. The Boss 429 was produced in very limited numbers in 69 (859) and 70 (499). It was hardly a Camaro killer. The 69 COPO ZL-1 Camaro would leave the Boss in the dust. 

The only true Mustang classic is 1965, the first year.
